What really gets to me is their statements calling drones “unfair”.

As soon as someone bring up the question of “Is it fair?” in a military discussion, I know they are not really capable of having the discussion. There are plenty of grounds to challenge operations based on its morality, long term worth, the repercussions, etc. Fairness does not even enter into the equation.

Yeah I agree with you there. War itself isn’t “fair”. That doesn’t mean it isn’t even less “fair” to do it ineptly. (Or rather, in a more sloppy way)

Fairness is sort of beside the point when you are speaking of the killing of men. It is what it is, and sometimes, it is necessary.
